Abstract
An assembly includes a toroidal induction component, a potting cup, and potting material. The toroidal induction component includes a conductive winding, where at least ends of the conductive winding define a lead set of the toroidal induction component. The potting cup is configured to accept the toroidal induction component and its lead set. Techniques for forming the assembly are also described.
Claims20
An assembly comprising:
- a toroidal induction component that comprises:
- at least one conductive winding, wherein ends of the at least one conductive winding define a lead set comprising a first lead and a second lead;
- and
- a magnetic core;
- a potting cup that defines at least one aperture set comprising at least a first aperture that is configured to receive the first lead and a second aperture that is configured to receive the second lead;
- and
- a potting material within the potting cup.

A method comprising:
- defining at least one aperture set in a potting cup, wherein the aperture set comprises a first aperture and a second aperture;
- inserting a toroidal induction component into the potting cup, wherein the toroidal induction component comprises at least one conductive winding around a magnetic core and at least a first lead and a second lead defined by respective ends of the at least one conductive winding, and wherein inserting the toroidal induction component into the potting cup comprises inserting the first lead into the first aperture and the second lead into the second aperture;
- and
- introducing a potting material into the potting cup.
